"Janmashtami Special Festive Portrait"

Written for ChatGPT. Results and reference-photo support may differ across models.

The complete prompt

Do not change the subject's facial bone structure, eye shape and 
color, nose shape, lip shape, jawline, or skin tone in any way — keep 
it 100% identical to the original photo. Body build and proportions 
unchanged. Non-negotiable.

LIGHTING SETUP (as a real photographer would dial it in): Key light — 
warm diya/lamp light from a nearby festive setup, acting as a soft 
golden key from camera-left at chest height. Fill — soft ambient dusk 
light from above, gently balancing the warm key at close to a 2:1 
ratio. Rim light — string lights behind her create a soft golden edge-
glow along her hair and shoulder. Catchlights in her eyes should be 
warm and soft, reflecting the diya flames.

LENS & OPTICS: Simulate an 85mm lens at f/2.0 — flattering facial 
compression, background rendered as soft creamy bokeh with blurred 
marigold garlands and fairy lights, gentle fall-off in sharpness away 
from the focal point, faint natural vignette at the corners.

FILM/COLOR SCIENCE: Emulate a warm festive film response — diya-light 
highlights bloom softly rather than clipping, shadows lifted gently 
rather than crushed black, rich warm gold-peacock-blue midtones 
balancing naturally against her skin tone.

Style: Dress her in an elegant peacock-blue or yellow silk saree or 
lehenga with delicate gold jewelry (choker, jhumka earrings, maang 
tikka), a small peacock feather motif or fresh flower detail in softly 
styled hair, subtle tilak/bindi. Background: a beautifully decorated 
Janmashtami setup with a Krishna idol/jhula (swing), peacock feathers, 
marigold garlands, and diyas, softly blurred.

DIRECTED POSE (as if a photographer is instructing her in real time): 
Standing near the decorated jhula or Krishna idol, one hand gently 
holding a diya or offering flowers, body angled at three-quarters to 
the camera, head turned toward the lens with a soft tilt.

GENUINE DIRECTED EXPRESSION: A warm, devotional smile with softly 
crinkled eyes, chin very slightly lowered — the natural joyful look 
right after being asked to "just look up gently and smile," not a 
stiff posed grin.

RETOUCH PIPELINE: Frequency-separation-style retouching — smooth 
tonal transitions on skin while fully preserving fine pore-level 
texture and natural color variation under the warm diya light. Subtle 
dodge-and-burn to retain natural facial planes, no flattened or 
washed-out glow.

FINISHING: Fine film grain overlay at low opacity, very slight 
chromatic softness at the frame edges as a real lens would render, no 
digital sharpening halos, natural imperfect crop as if not perfectly 
composed in-camera.

Ensure zero facial distortion, correct hand anatomy, and consistent 
shadow/light-source logic between the warm diya key and ambient dusk 
fill.
